Instructions: 4. Peeled and cut the potatoes. Steamed the vegetables. Rinsed them in cold water and set out to drain and blot dry on paper towels.

5. Made the meat-mushroom filling and stuffed the cabbage. Set aside.

6. Skimmed the stock. Added broth that drained from the sieve; put sauce on medium heat and reduced it.

7. Put step 5 in oven. Thickened sauce of step 6.

8. Crisp fried the steamed vegetables (step4).

9. Plated it.

Make extra. Reheats well. Leftovers make a easy soup by crisping the vegetables and adding the stuffed cabbage and thinning the sauce. Haunting flavor and aroma. Showy. Looks like you fussed and you did! I changed the proportions in favor of the vegetables. The original called 1 oxtail and some blackroot; things I cannot buy locally.
